Participation in circus arts significantly benefits young Australians’ mental health, self-confidence and social connections, according to a new report.
“Especially following on from the bushfires up here in 2019, then COVID and the floods [in 2017 and 2022], we really felt that we wanted to lean into that. So with our 2023 show Monumental, [created] with our guest directors from A Good Catch Circus, we really wanted to explore how beneficial the show was [for the youth ensemble].”
